===Sitting or Standing===
# Some say that the congregation should stand during the Chazarat HaShatz. Some have the practice to sit.<ref>Rama 124:4 writes that some say one should stand during Chazarat HaShatz. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 20:1 writes that for someone for whom it is easy to stand should stand just as if one was actually saying [[Shemona Esreh]] oneself. See Mishna Brurah 124:20 who writes that the earlier practice was to listen to Chazarat HaShatz standing so that it was like one is actually praying through [[Shomea KeOneh]], however, because of our sins in our days people do whatever they like and some sit. The Biur HaGra 124:4 (according to the Birkat Eliyahu) explains that the reason to stand is that Chazarat HaShatz was originally instituted in order to fulfill the obligation of one who doesn't know how to say [[Shemonei Esrei]]. Just like someone who didn't know how to say [[Shemonei Esrei]] would have to stand in order to fulfill his obligation by listening to the Chazara, so too the congregatoin should stand. The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, Volume 1, Page 110 states that during the [[Chazarat Hashatz]] one should stand; nevertheless, one who is old or sick is permitted to sit. </ref>
